Releases and Roadmap

In November 2009 we showed a first demonstration of OpenEPC at 5th FOKUS IMS Workshop 2009 and have worked since then on refining many aspects of the software. An aggressive roadmap was put in place which targets major releases every 6 months with new feature previews every 3 months.

• April 2010: Rel. 1 of OpenEPC was launched with support for mobility management and roaming configuration support and support for subscription management and policy control.
• November 2010: Rel. 2 of OpenEPC with an update of features and extensions.

Therefore Rel. 1 is just the beginning of the OpenEPC project. Upon customer request, currently missing functionality of Rel. 1 can be added in a prioritized manner, including mobility management for 3GPP access networks, other mobility protocols (e.g. GTP, DSMIP, FACoA MIP), advanced PCC mechanisms and support for novel wireless adapted services.
